What it does
Runs metrics queries against Axiom MetricsDB via scripts. Discovers available metrics, tags, and tag values. Use when asked to query metrics, explore metric datasets, check metric values, or investigate OTel metrics data.
Querying Axiom Metrics
All script paths are relative to this skill's folder; invoke as scripts/<name>. The target dataset must be of kind otel:metrics:v1.
Setup, prerequisites, and ~/.axiom.toml configuration: see README.md. Edge-deployment routing is automatic, the scripts read each dataset's edgeDeployment and route to the right regional endpoint without configuration.
Workflow
scripts/datasets <deploy> --kind otel:metrics:v1, list metrics datasets.scripts/metrics-spec, required before composing any query. MPL evolves; the spec is the source of truth. Also use it to answer general MPL/metrics questions.scripts/metrics-info <deploy> <dataset> metrics, list metrics with{type, temporality, unit}metadata. Read this before writing the query (see Choosing a Query Shape).scripts/metrics-info <deploy> <dataset> tags [<tag> values], explore filter dimensions.scripts/metrics-query <deploy> '<MPL>' <start> <end>, execute. Iterate.
If the user names a specific entity (service, host, …), scripts/metrics-info <deploy> <dataset> find-metrics "<value>" finds the metrics carrying it. find-metrics searches tag values, not metric names, don't use it for general discovery.
Choosing a Query Shape
The metrics-info listing returns each metric's {type, temporality, unit}. Read these before composing, never assume a metric is a simple scalar.
| Field | Values | Drives |
|---|---|---|
type | Gauge, CounterMonotonic, CounterNonMonotonic, Histogram | Required pre-aggregation operators. |
temporality | Cumulative, Delta, null | Whether counter values are running totals or per-interval deltas. null is normal for Gauges. |
unit | UCUM string (Cel, kW.h, s, %, [ppm], …) or null | Display unit; preserve when reporting results. |
Rules per type (consult metrics-spec for exact operator names, they evolve):
